Here is a basic list of garage door maintenance that you can do on a regular basis to keep your garage door in proper working order:

Exterior maintenance
Exterior maintenance primarily applies to wood garage doors that need to be stained every few years to protect the wood garage door and maintain the nice appearance.

Locks
You should never force a lock. Forcing a lock will usually result in a key breaking off inside the lock cylinder. The simple rule is do not force a key. A graphite-based lock lubricant can be sprayed into the lock and then you can try to gently work it. If you find that the key is turning freely, but the lock is not working properly, you can check the lock bars on the inside for proper alignment.

Lubricate rollers and hinges
Set up your own maintenance schedule as to how often you should lubricate the garage door rollers and hinges. The purpose is to prevent excessive wear and tear. If a garage door is used frequently then you would naturally lubricate more often.

Look for loose bolts
Every time a garage door opens and closes it is putting tension on the bolts holding the garage door springs. Over time they can loosen. If a bolt is loose you may try to tighten it. Be aware that these bolts are holding the springs under high stress. If there is a question of whether these bolts are in danger of being too loose, you should let a trained Valuemax technician fix the bolts safely and to assure yourself that they will hold the springs. Look for excessive wear and tear as well.
